Fire protective intumescent coating cannot insulate a base material effectively if its char lacks mechanical strength. This research therefore, studied the effects of fibre reinforcement to epoxy-based intumescent coating’s char strength. The fibres used include glass wool fibre, Rockwool fibre and...
